Shim told CNET that Apple's plans for the rumoured MacBook, which would join the 15in Retina MacBook Pro that was launched earlier this year, have seen no changes and are still on course for production to start imminently.

It is not yet clear when (or even if) Apple will launch a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, but Shin suggests that it could be unveiled after the iPad mini is announced, which could happen this month according to the latest rumours.

Previous reports have suggested that the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro will be launched this month, and that the laptop will have 8GB RAM.
